If you love in the beautiful in the moment shots as well as posed, Akari is amazingly talented and makes it a fun easy experience. Both our engagement pictures and wedding we're perfect. The dancing photos blow your mind. She is the coolest person you'll meet, hard not to have a good time with her.

I’ve tried and am convinced there’s no way to fully capture how amazing Iburi Photography is without writing a full novel so strap in lol. I’ll start with the fangirling, we worked with Akari and not only is she insanely talented, super sweet, and all around an amazing human she’s very much the type of person I would pay to be my best friend given the chance because she is so fun to be around! I seriously love this girl and feel like we’ve gained the coolest friend, which as hidden benefits of hiring a wedding photographer go I feel “unlocking secret friendships” has to rank pretty highly. My husband and I are both awkward introverts but felt so comfortable during our engagement shoot with Akari, it honestly felt like we were all just hanging out. That energy carried through our wedding day as well and brought a lot of comfort to anxious moments! She was somehow everywhere all at once, never missing a moment and our family and friends loved her just as much as we did! Logistically, working with Iburi Photography was a dream as well! The communication was unparalleled, any questions we had were answered quickly and completely, pricing was transparent, meetings were regular, all important information and documents were in our profile on their site, she worked seamlessly with our videographer (Brad with Journeymen Studio!) and it was all so insanely impressive! And, while I’ve only shared a few here, the photos truly speak for themselves! The passion and the pure skill are undeniable, as many words as I’ve written here could never be enough to describe the awe we felt in seeing these photos. There was a level of anxiety for me in being a plus size bride, I don’t often see people who look like me represented and have a great deal of confidence issues as a result- but I have never in my life felt as beautiful as when I saw these photos. I see myself with kinder eyes, I see myself the way my husband sees me every day- and that alone is priceless. The way she captured the love between us, between our loved ones, the romance, the silliness… it was nothing short of pure magic. I wholeheartedly recommend Iburi Photography with every fiber of my being (and I’m not just saying that because Akari is #bestiegoals)

We are BEYOND happy with the talent and artistry this dynamic duo provided during our engagement shoot and wedding day. Not only are both Akari and Shin masters at their craft, they are also incredibly comfortable to work with and easy going. They were like a part of the family during the reception in terms of their class and grace, while their professionalism is top-notch. We are IN LOVE with our photos which capture our energy and relationship so perfectly xo
